• Limousine Transfer - Osaka to Kansai Airport (KIX):
  The Limousine Bus (public transport) operates between the airport and the city center. The nearest bus stops to your accommodation will be provided in your travel guide. The connection between the limousine bus stop and your hotel is usually made on foot but may also be accessible by subway or bus depending on your hotel’s location.
  In Osaka, this service is available for departures from Kansai Airport (KIX) between 9:30 AM and 1:00 AM. Outside of these hours, transfers will be at your own expense. A supplement for a private transfer may be offered. Transfers from Itami (ITM) or Kobe (UKB) airports will be at your own expense.

  This pass allows you to travel from Tokyo Shinjuku to Hakone on the Odakyu Line.
